Abstract/Summary
The report details the result of an archaeological evaluation at Temple Hill School.
Taken From the report: "Abstract: This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by Archaeology South-East at Temple Hill School, St Edmunds Road, Dartford, Kent between 12th and 14th August 2015. The fieldwork was commissioned … in advance of the construction of an extension forming three new classrooms. Excavation confirmed the presence of Boyn Hill gravels at the site to a depth c.2.5m below current ground level, represented by a sequence of coarse gravel and finer sand deposits. Sieving of the test-pit arisings retrieved two Palaeolithic flakes, although one was from a contaminated sample, and the other came from later sands overlying the Boyn Hill sequence. Three shallow features comprising two ditches and a pit were also identified. A small quantity of Roman pottery and industrial debris and burnt flint was recovered from the pit. Prehistoric, Roman and/or medieval/post-medieval activity is likely to exist on the site. "
